Boy don't I know it . Man I do not know what exactly to turn down though .

Try to lower or turn off your MSAA Deferred settings if you have them on, I am pretty sure it will give you a big boost in performance overall, use Post AA by itself instead and see what kind of results you get.

As for flying the Heli, if your are using the keyboard, try using wasd/arrow keys. Forget the mouse completely. You have to be gentle with the heli's, too much pitch/roll and you'll put 'er right into a cliff face.

I do not think that my CPU is showing it's age just yet . I mean it eats this game up but good . I do not have any issues other than slow servers .

I thought the same with my Q9550 @ 3.8GHz /w 2x 5850's avg 60 - 100fps on mid... It played it close to my i7 970 @ 4.0ghz /w gtx480 avg 60 - 80fps on mid... I finally upgraded my Q9550 to a 2600k and... WOW was i wrong at how much my Q9550 was holding back my 5850's in CF!.. Now I'm avg 100 - 130fps on mid.. I mean it's like night and day and my 2600k is still at stock settings.. Not for long though..hehehe

Yeah well I have to play with what I have . It runs the game great not one problem at all . As far as FPS goes as long as it is good and smooth ( And it is ) I am fine with it . It can take up all the resources it wants to as long as it runs the game smooth .

Yea man your system should play it just fine, but when you do upgrade down the road you'll see the difference on those 5770's. plus that extra 400mhz over mine is nice! I ran my q9550 at 4.0ghz a few times... but it didn't like to for long.. I believe it was more of a ram issue on my setup than the processor not being able to handle it.

Yeah I need to see if I can get some more RAM ( The same stuff I have that is ) I am going to ask my brother if he can get me some . I hope he can it would be cool to have 8 gigs of ram in this setup .
I am officially addicted to this game !
I know I have to play MP to get things and all that but for the last 3 hours now I have been doing the missions ! Man the graphics in this game are intense ! The game play is like nothing I have ever experienced in any other game . I am BLOWN AWAY !

Yep, it's called better internet Can anybody confirm if the release still uses client-side hit detection?

The only way I could get better internet is to move and that isn't going to happen any time soon. What sucks is that I never have the right weapon for the situation I find myself in. If I have a sniper, I'll inevitably get involved in a close quarters combat situation. If I have a shotgun, my targets are often more for sniper range. If I have an assault rifle, I should have a shotgun because they're right in front of my face. Irony owns me.

you should always carry a sidearm that compliments your primary. when I roll with a shotgun, or even a pdw, I carry the .44 scoped because it has range. when I carry a mid to long range rifle, I use the m93r.

Seems the Battle Reports are slightly broken - I play pretty much on hardcore only but all my games say Normal in the report.

FordGT: It might also be worth making sure you have no mods on guns that may give you away. I don't use scopes, lights or lasers; I just use reflex sight and a foregrip. I use extended mag on the M249 too. When I stopped using all the lasers and lights, my score started climbing fast and I've been consistently coming top of the board-ish. Maybe it's a coincidence and I got much better at the same time, but it might be worth a try

But yea, enemies always give themselves away to me and when I saw how easy it is to spot an enemy that's using a scope or laser, I decided not to use them again.

as far as this goes, a suppressor is far more important. unsuppressed guns make you show up on enemies mini map. its a good way to get stabbed.

What I am finding that sucks like all online games my crappy shit internet connection . It is like jittery and choppy you just cant play a game like this ! I get 1Mps too ! I do notice I have no ping . Most of the time the game starts out fine then it ends up like this . Pisses me off so much I can not find out what is doing this at all !

That's also worth a try, good point
The thing is, a scope or laser etc. shows your position to the enemy before you've even taken a shot so I don't mind showing up on the minimap after shooting, just as long as they don't see me coming. I don't use suppressors personally as I need all the power I can get and I don't like the added muzzle climb. I'm also constantly checking my six and moving so it's not a problem for me.
Just goes back to what everyone's been saying; to each his own

1Mbs is bandwidth, not latency. it doesn't really matter in online gaming as long as you are over 100k/s or so(much less for most games). in other words it's not the amount of information (bandwidth, 1Mbps) , it's the speed the information travels at (ping). latency is degradation of quality, so more latency equals higher ping. they are not interchangeable but similar.

go to speedtest.net and report back your ping (not speed). try a server wherever the BF3 servers you are trying to connect to are for a more accurate idea.
